About Me

I made this website to give statistically accurate results for Lotteries.

Unlike casinos, lotteries are different in that you do not receive your wager back if you win. For casinos a win is a win is a win. For lotteries you may spend $100 and win 30 times at $3 each and still be $10 behind. The State can claim, correctly, that not only did you win - you won 30 times! On the other hand, you're down $10 from when you started.

While it is true that the more tickets you buy the more chances you'll have of winning something; you may not win a profit. (as shown above) More likely than not the prizes you may win will not cover the cost of the tickets you paid to win those prizes.

The probability of "winning" (coming out ahead) depends on the number of tickets you bought in relation to the distribution of prizes. You don't just want to win, you want to win at least the amount you paid for those tickets. (Winning $2 on a $10 ticket is no fun...)

In other words...How many tickets should I buy to have the best chances of winning a profit?

NOTE: It is a mathematical theorem that it is impossible to have a betting strategy that 'beats the lottery'. You can not beat an unfavorable game. Impossible. Don't try to develop one, and don't believe in one someone tells you about. Even in a fair game (flipping a coin) the best you could do is leave with the same amount of money on average as when you started.

The lottery is a unfavorable game, you WILL lose money in the long run, on average.

So, with that being said, in all honesty this site tells you how to lose the slowest. That is, how to get the most for your wager. There's no sense just throwing your wager away blindly, give it the best chances it can.
